Calculate taking 100 as the base index and cost should be the fair value on 1/4/1981.

COA will be FMV as arrived by Governmental approved valuer as on 01.04.2001.

The indexed value of the property in FY 2017-18, would be 2.72 times the FMV (as of 01.04.2001)

Cost of the property – The property did not cost anything to the inheritor, but for calculation of capital gain the cost to the previous owner is considered as the cost of acquisition of the Property. i.e; cost to your Father.

Indexation of cost –  The year of acquisition of the previous owner is considered for the purpose of indexation of the cost of acquisition. As Previous Owner in your case was your Mother. i.e; ICOA will be taken on 2009-2010
